The DGP-WG is invited to agree to the draft amendments in this working paper. Part 4 PACKING INSTRUCTIONS Chapter 1 GENERAL PACKING REQUIREMENTS 1.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLASSES EXCEPT CLASS 7 (15 pages) DGPWG.07.WP en.doc

2 New, remanufactured, reused or reconditioned packagings which are listed in Tables 6-2 and 6-3, must meet the applicable requirements of Part 6 of these Instructions. Such packagings must be manufactured and tested under a quality assurance programme which satisfies the appropriate national authority, in order to ensure that such packagings meet those applicable requirements. Where packagings are required to be tested in accordance with 6;4, their subsequent use must be as specified in the applicable test report and conform in all respects with the design type which was tested, including the method of packing and size and type of any inner packagings, except as provided for in and 6; Before being filled and handed over for transport, every packaging must be inspected to ensure that it is free from corrosion, contamination or other damage. Any packaging which shows signs of reduced strength as compared with the approved design type must no longer be used or must be so reconditioned that it is able to withstand the design type tests. Note. ISO 16106:2006 Packaging Transport packages for dangerous goods Dangerous goods packagings, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and large packagings Guidelines for the application of ISO 9001 provides acceptable guidance on procedures which may be followed. Chapter 4 CLASS 2 GASES 4.1 SPECIAL PACKING PROVISIONS FOR DANGEROUS GOODS OF CLASS General requirements This section provides general requirements applicable to the use of cylinders and closed cryogenic receptacles for the transport of Class 2 gases (e.g. UN 1072 Oxygen, compressed). Cylinders and closed cryogenic receptacles must be constructed and closed so as to prevent any loss of contents which might be caused under normal conditions of transport, including by vibration, or by changes in temperature, humidity or pressure (resulting from change in altitude, for example). Editorial Note. Text in below is moved to 6; : Parts of cylinders and closed cryogenic receptacles that are in direct contact with dangerous goods must not be affected or weakened by those dangerous goods and must not cause a dangerous effect (e.g. catalysing a reaction or reacting with the dangerous goods). The provisions of ISO :1997 and ISO :2000 must be met as applicable. Cylinders for UN 1001 Acetylene, dissolved and UN 3374 Acetylene, solvent free must be filled with a porous mass, uniformly distributed, of a type that conforms to the requirements and testing specified by the appropriate national authority and which: a) is compatible with the cylinder and does not form harmful or dangerous compounds either with the acetylene or with the solvent in the case of UN 1001; and b) is capable of preventing the spread of decomposition of the acetylene in the porous mass. In the case of UN 1001, the solvent must be compatible with the cylinders Cylinders and closed cryogenic receptacles, including their closures, must be selected that are able to contain a gas or a mixture of gases according to the requirements of 6;5.1.2 and the requirements of the specific packing instructions of this Part Refillable cylinders must not be filled with a gas or gas mixture different from that previously contained unless the necessary operations for change of gas service have been performed. The change of service for compressed and liquefied gases must be in accordance with ISO 11621:1997, as applicable. In addition, a cylinder that previously contained a Class 8 corrosive substance or a substance of another class with a corrosive subsidiary risk must not be authorized for the transport of a Class 2 substance unless the necessary inspection and testing as specified in 6; have been performed.

3 Refillable cylinders, other than closed cryogenic receptacles, must be periodically inspected according to the provisions of 6; and Packing Instruction 200. Cylinders and closed cryogenic receptacles must not be filled after they become due for periodic inspection but may be transported after the expiry of the time limit. 4.2 PACKING INSTRUCTIONS 200 PACKING INSTRUCTION For cylinders, the general packing requirements of must be met. Cylinders, constructed as specified in 6;5 are authorized for the transport of a specific substance when specified in the following tables (Table 1 and Table 2). Cylinders other than UN marked and certified cylinders may be used if the design, construction, testing, approval and markings conform to the requirements of the appropriate national authority in which they are approved and filled. The substances contained must be permitted in cylinders and permitted for air transport according to these Instructions. Cylinders for which prescribed periodic tests have become due must not be charged and offered for transport until such retests have been successfully completed. Valves must be suitably protected or must be designed and constructed in such a manner that they are able to withstand damage without leakage as specified in Annex B of ISO 10297:1999. Cylinders with capacities of one litre or less must be packaged in outer packaging constructed of suitable material of adequate strength and design in relation to the packaging capacity and its intended use, and secured or cushioned so as to prevent significant movement within the outer packaging during normal conditions of transport. For some substances, the special packing provisions may prohibit a particular type of cylinder. The following requirements must be met: 3) In no case must cylinders be filled in excess of the limit permitted in the following requirements: a) For compressed gases, the working pressure must be not more than two-thirds of the test pressure of the cylinders. Restrictions to this upper limit on working pressure are imposed by special packing provision o. In no case must the internal pressure at 65 C exceed the test pressure. b) For high pressure liquefied gases, the filling ratio must be such that the settled pressure at 65 C does not exceed the test pressure of the cylinders. The use of test pressures and filling ratios other than those in the table is permitted provided that the above criterion is met, except where special packing provision o applies, provided that.: i) the criterion of 4), special packing provision "r" is met when applicable; or ii) the above criterion is met in all other cases. 4) Keys for the column Special packing provisions : Gas specific provisions: Editorial Note.
